Fourth of July Fireworks
June 29, 2012
My super talented bento blogger friends are hopping again! Today we are getting a head start on July 4th with a Patriotic Bento Blog Hop. Make sure you click the button at the end of the post to see Cristi’s cute creation celebrating Canada. Sounds fun, eh?
Cora’s cheese sandwich is a fireworks display decorated with cheese and fruit leather. The vegan marshmallow clouds are holding adorable pinwheel cupcake picks. They really spin, Cora is going to LOVE them! I probably should have saved them for her birthday lunch next week, but I couldn’t resist!
The patriotic lunch is finished with a vanilla coconut yogurt flag (decorated with blueberries and raspberries) and pineapple and watermelon stars. I put a cling wrap layer on top of the yogurt to keep it from spilling. This lunch is pretty light on complex grains, but she eats a ton of crackers and pretzels at snack time, so I’m not worried. Now veggies is a whole ‘nother story. At least we manage to slip carrot juice and spinach into her morning smoothies!
Don’t forget to hop!

Funky Bird Lunch
March 16, 2012
Cora made a funky bird from a paper and sticker project and she loved it so much she glued it to the door of her room when I wasn’t looking. I thought it would be fun to make a similar sandwich. The tail is a fan that is meant to go perpendicular to the bird but that didn’t photograph well so I turned it for the picture

I finished the lunch with cheese curl worms, fruit leather letters, raspberries and strawberry hearts
Cora inspired this lunch just in time for the Bento Blog Network Bento of the Week theme, birds. Check it out, there are always some really cute lunches linked up! Don’t forget to vote for your favorite starting Tuesday!
